If King Bailan does not send troops to dismantle the earthen fortress outside, sooner or later, Yu Juluo can push the earthen fort directly under the wall of Xiping City, and then lead his soldiers and horses to swarm up along the slope made of earthen piles; if he continues to send troops
When we go to dismantle the earthen fortress, more soldiers will die and escape every time than the last time...
It can be said that he has been fighting for a lifetime, but King Bailan has never fought such a useless battle. This kind of falling into the trap of his opponent no matter what he does makes him extremely depressed.
Right now, holding on is equivalent to sitting back and waiting to die. If you continue to fight outside the city, you will die faster and more miserably. And your opponent, like a seasoned spider spirit, keeps spitting out white poisonous threads to tie your arms.
, tie your thighs, tie your eyelids, lips, ears and all movable parts of your body, letting you suffocate little by little, and lead you to death in despair little by little.
King Bailan was unwilling to give in, and King Bailan couldn't bear it! So in the past half month, he has been almost crazy. He personally leads the army out of the city every day to challenge Yu Juluo. Starting from the other party's dead father, he continued to scold him.
The ancestor whose name the other party could not name at all developed a super-friendly relationship with all the female relatives in the Yugura family.
He hoped to have a happy decisive battle with Yu Juluo before his troops completely collapsed. Winning or losing, it was better than being forced to death like now. However, Yu Juluo
But he never showed up, letting him scold, let him jump, let him tear down the earthen fortifications with his own hands, and then continued to lead people to build more earthen fortifications. The east, south and north sides of Xiping City were built with continuous lines.
The continuous mounds slowly connected into a whole.
"Guess, will King Bailan come out to challenge today?" On the earthen fort in the west of the city, General Ying Yang, wearing bright armor and holding a command arrow in his hand, was "discussing" with his colleagues around him with a smile.
He is the grandson of Yuan Feng, general of Yingyanglang of Longxi County, second only to the Dugu clan in the Guanlong aristocratic clan. Pei Yuanqing was transferred back to Kyoto at the beginning of the year and this position was vacated. The Yuan clan took the opportunity to find a way to occupy this position.
.The Yuan family was very powerful in the Sui Dynasty, one or two more powerful than the Li family and the Yu family in Guanlong. Bai Feng was also a young man with a successful career, and his future was limitless. So as long as he spoke, he would never
Cold scene.
"I'm afraid...I'm afraid it won't stop! I just don't know which door to come out from?" Captain Guoyi named Yang Dong immediately rushed to answer loudly.
"Aren't they all the same? Anyway, we all took advantage and left!" A burst of low laughter suddenly sounded from all around, and all the Sui army officers and soldiers were very proud.
On the battlefield, if the defensive side is safe and reliable, its losses will definitely be much smaller than that of the attacking side. If the defensive side does not care whether the position can be held or not, and just inflicts a certain number of casualties on the attacking side and then evacuates, then the losses of both sides will be much smaller.
The number of battle losses is even more disparate.
Therefore, even the veteran Youzi under Yuan Feng is not afraid of fighting now. Anyway, the coach Yu Juluo has never asked them to hold their position, let alone defeat the enemy. This kind of cheap fight, as long as it is an individual, will fight. Yes
Personally, I would not find it too easy.
"You guys, don't always think too beautifully. Did you see that the earthen fortress is almost completed! Once the earthen fort is completed, the good days will be over!" Amidst the low laughter, someone suddenly chimed in, and it sounded like,
Extremely harsh.
"Who? Who's belt is not fastened and you are exposed!" The warriors felt unhappy when they heard this. They turned their heads to look at each other. At the same time, they also said sarcastically, "Ah, isn't this General Yang? It's a cold day.
, If you weren’t warming yourself by the fire and catching lice in your tent, what were you doing out front?”
"Could it be that General Yang wants to atone for his sins, then you have to be careful, swords and arrows have no eyesight. If something is missing below you, your whole life will be ruined!"
"General Yang made a clever calculation and pinched it with his fingers... So the Xiping County was lost, and the soldiers under his command suffered heavy casualties, but he lived well."
"My general... my general..." The guy who had poured cold water on everyone earlier was so angry that his face was almost bleeding, but he could only hold it back because he was the defeated general.
His surname is Yang and his given name is Shuanghe. He is the Ying Yanglang general of Xiping County. Before Yu Juluo led the army, he led the army of Xiping County to several defeats by the Tuyuhun people, and almost wiped out 30,000 Xiping County troops.
It is said that even the county and city were lost, but this man was very good at escaping. He led his own soldiers to escape intact. Now he is serving as a soldier beside Yu Juluo as a guilty general. If he hadn't been the most powerful official of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Su
His own nephew, who worked for him in the imperial court, had long been taken to Kyoto and imprisoned. Although he has saved his life, now that he is responsible for the loss of Xiping County, everyone knows that his future will be bleak.
Therefore, none of the generals in the army who came to rescue wanted to see him, and no matter what he said, right or wrong, they refused to give him a good look.
"What's the matter? What's the matter? Do you want to finish what you have to say?" Yuan Feng, the Yingyang Lang of Longxi County, saw that Yang Shuanghe was stuttering with anger from everyone, and laughed even more happily.
We brought our brothers to fight in this winter, and it was a mess because of Li Shuanghe, so if we didn't take the opportunity to anger Li Shuanghe, we would be sorry for ourselves.
"Hmph!" Yang Shuanghe was forced to have beads of sweat rolling on his forehead. He stamped his feet vigorously and added loudly: "Don't think that if you had nothing to do before, you will always have nothing to do. The earthen ramparts have been piled up. The decisive battle is about to begin.
In the past few days, Mr. Fish can’t always spoil you, sooner or later you will have to fight against the enemy!”
When the generals heard this, they shook their heads and laughed again. Yuan Feng even sneered: "Hey, who are you trying to scare? Just fight! We are soldiers and have to fight to eat. We can't be as afraid of death as some people!"
"Yes, King Bailan has become a turtle in a urn. As long as the general manager gives the order, we will rush into the city and put a lid on him!"
"Well, in the past two months, I've started to grow fat on my butt!"
"If it weren't for someone's slight words, someone would want to take the initiative to ask for help..."
While they were talking lively, suddenly, a low horn sounded from the opposite side, "Woo——, woo woo woo woo."
The suspension bridge hanging outside the east gate of Xiping City suddenly fell to the ground, firmly holding both sides of the moat. Immediately afterwards, countless soldiers and horses poured out from the city gate, like a dark cloud, and went straight to the earthen ramparts under their feet.
"Ah, it's true, Yang Shuanghe, you have a crow's mouth." The generals were shocked and immediately pointed at Yang Shuanghe's nose and cursed loudly. However, there was still no tension on everyone's face.
